The weekly market in Idstein already has a very special flair. But at the Christmas market, the beautiful old town of Idstein becomes an incomparably enchanting "Market of Lights"for three days. Visitors stroll in front of the festively illuminated, romantic half-timbered backdrop. The scent of mulled wine, Christmas cookies and other treats fills the air and underlines the festive atmosphere. Quiet contemplation is the order of the day here.
Thousands of small lights will transform the Christmas market into a "Lights Market" and immerse Idstein's city center in a romantic Christmas ambience. In the historic old town, lovingly decorated wooden huts invite you to linger and browse. In addition to tasty treats, you are sure to find a gift or two to make your loved ones happy this festive season.
In the town hall, you can visit a model train exhibition on Saturday and Sunday and marvel at the living nativity scene in the town hall underpass. Mary, Joseph, the king, shepherd and angel await you there, along with real donkeys, sheep and goats, offering a Christmas story that not only young visitors can touch.
